“Why are we doing this”: Trump spoke out against the Ukrainian Armed Forces' strikes on Russia with American long-range weapons Sofia Rozhik

Trump spoke out against Ukraine striking Russia with American long-range weapons. In addition, he criticized Kyiv for launching these missiles in November.

The politician believes that this leads to an even further escalation of the situation. This is reported by Channel 24 with reference to Time.

The crisis in the Middle East is easier to resolve than in Ukraine, – Trump

Time recognized Donald Trump as the person of the year and recalled his main statements on Ukraine. In particular, about the strikes on Russia.

“I categorically disagree with sending missiles hundreds of miles into Russian territory. Why are we doing this? We're only making this war worse and worse,” Time quotes the politician as saying in its article.

The publication also noted that during his election campaign, Trump boasted that he could achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours, but later admitted that it was more difficult than he said.

Time recalled another of Trump's positions: supposedly the Middle East crisis is easier to solve than the Ukrainian one.

The Middle East is a problem that is easier to solve than what is happening with Russia and Ukraine. The number of dead young soldiers lying in the fields everywhere is staggering. This is the madness that is happening, – said the future US president.

However, in his interviews he noted that he uses US support for Ukraine as a lever of influence on Russia during negotiations to end the war. He assured that he wants to achieve agreement, and the only way to do this is “not to refuse.”
